  • Scopes Monkey Trail Research Paper

    741 Words  | 3 Pages

    When I first read about the Scopes Monkey Trail I wasn’t sure what side I wanted to choose. While both sides made great points I agree more with the school teacher John Scopes and his attorney Clarence Darrow. If I was a juror I would not vote to convict John Scopes. Often Christian parents try to shield their children from anything they feel is unchristian like. These children aren’t going to live in Dayton, Tennessee their whole lives, when they go off to college or move away from home there are going to be people whether it’s a professor, spouse, coworker or friend that will teach them about evolution and other subjects the parents my feel are unchristian like so why not prepare them for their future and teach them these things now?

  • The Primate Family Tree Metaphor

    1757 Words  | 8 Pages

    Although some may think of metaphor as ornamental and inapplicable for use in subjects other than English literature, metaphors are necessary for communication in all fields. The use of metaphor is especially crucial in the field of education, where students cannot be taught without the use of metaphor because one cannot understand completely new ideas without making a connection to previously known information (Reddy). Textbooks readily employ metaphor in order to convey new information to students. Pages 28-29 of The Primate Family Tree by Ian Redmond illustrates the evolution of primates through a diagram of a tree and describes how the theory of evolution has changed since the nineteenth century. The Primate Family Tree willfully utilizes

Robert Sapolsky, the author of A Primate’s Memoir, witnessed Game Park Rangers in Kenya dispersing the meat of a zebra that they killed.

Apes have been sent to space, used for animal testing, used against their will for entertainment, held captive by exotic pet owners, being forced to live in Zoos, and eaten by people who view them as prestigious food. Apes are kept in cages in laboratories where some of them are even breed, born, and killed for the results of horrifying experiments.

  • Three Theories Of Primate Analysis

    According to our textbook, Europe, Asia, and Africa experienced dramatic changes in climate and ecology. For example, a shift in tectonic plates created the Alps, Himalayas, and the East African mountains chains. Other examples of dramatic climate changes include the shifting of ocean currents and the development of the polar ice caps. Specifically in Europe and Africa, the once lush tropical forest changed to cooler, dryer woodlands and grasslands. Our book claims that as a result of such climate change, tropical foods like fruit (apes favored diet) began to disappear.

Females can spend more time teaching, taking care of and feeding them. These mammals then become much smarter and well prepared for the world.

  • Primate Observation Report

    429 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Earth's climate went through several major changes throughout the Tertiary period that led to the flourishing of primate species and the extinction of other primate species. The plesiadaptiforms, which are not considered real primates because of the lack of key primate features, went extinct at the end of the Paleocene epoch. At the beginning of the Eocene epoch came the euprimates, considered the first real primates, whose features made them well-adapted to arboreal life. Euprimates had convergent eye orbits, opposable digits, nails, and larger brains than plesiadaptiforms. This coincides with a period of global warming which made for a more tropical and forested habitat.
